Wicked - 
Wicked, the spellbinding and spectacular hit Broadway musical, tells the incredible untold story of the legendary witches from L. Frank Baum's classic, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. When Dorothy famously triumphed in Oz, we only ever heard one side of the story. Now Wicked brings to life the captivating, surprising story of how a misunderstood, green girl named Elphaba became "Wicked" but her unlikely friend, Glinda, became "good". Based on Gregory Maguire's "outstanding novel" (The Independent), Wicked transports audiences to a fantasy land of wizardry and witchcraft, with Grammy Award-winning music, Tony Award-winning sets and costumes, and stunning special effects. The sensational London cast will be headed, for a limited season, by Broadway star Idina Menzel, who will recreate her acclaimed,
Tony Award-winning performance as Elphaba (the green girl whose destiny is to be the infamous Wicked Witch of the West). Wicked also stars Helen Dallimore making her West End debut as Glinda, Adam Garcia (Saturday Night Fever, On The Town) as Fiyero, Miriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) as Madame Morrible and Nigel Planer (We Will Rock You, Chicago, The Young Ones) as The Wizard.
